sleeping problems

When my siblings and I were little we always wanted a TV in our room. Just because our friends had them in their room. We all begged and begged but our parents told us no. One day last summer I couldn't sleep I don't remember why. I wanted to either sleep in my parents room or the living room. My parents said I couldn't sleep in either. So every night I waited for them to fall asleep. Once they were both asleep every night I went downstairs to sleep on the couch. After a few nights of doing that my parents said I couldn't anymore. Then they asked me what helps me sleep besides sleeping with someone else. I said the TV light flashing. So I think we were getting it.


My mom and dad finally said yes. Christmas 2014 was when we got them but we got them a week earlier. It was the best Christmas present ever. At first I had the TV that was in the playroom because mine wasn't ready. Then after a week or so it finally came. I had for a few months now and I love it and now I watch it all time. Every morning afternoon and at night. Plus I keep it on every night and now I sleep good. It was the best present I ever got.    

How I got my dog cricket

My sister and I were about 7 years old and my brother was 5. My dad dropped us off at my grandmas because we were going to spend the night. My dad said that if we were good he would get a surprise. I wonder what it will be? So I tried being good as possible. My dad and mom went to the animal shelter to go look at the puppies. They found a perfect one for us. It was a black lap and a English pointer as know as a hunter dog. Her name was cricket. My mom said she was named right after my great grandmas dog. 

When we came home my dad opened the door, My siblings and I heard barking we went upstairs. Then we found our mom holding the puppy. We all gather around her trying to pet her. My cat whiskers comes on the couch licking my dog. My family and I watch as they lick each other. We all think that it's so cute. Then my siblings and I go to our rooms to go to sleep. My parents come in to say goodnight. I see them take my dog upstairs to sleep.
